Abstract

We characterize (non)Markovian dynamics of open quantum systems. Two recently proposed measures of non-Markovianity are analyzed: one based on the concept of divisibility of the dynamical map and the other one based on distinguishability of quantum states. The characterization of the correspondingg enerators in the Heisenberg picture is provided as well.
